What actions of the schoolmates change the author’s ... - Moments Supplementary Reader

Question

What actions of the schoolmates change the author’s understanding of life and people, and comfort him emotionally? How does his loneliness vanish and how does he start participating in life?

Answer

The actions of the author’s schoolmates that changed his understanding of life were their genuine kindness and support. They collected money and bought him school supplies, notebooks, and various clothes like sweatshirts and jeans. People who had never spoken to him before came up to him to introduce themselves and invited him to their houses.

His loneliness vanished because this outpouring of concern made him feel a sense of belonging and security. He realized that he was not alone and that the world was a good place. He started participating in life by making new friends and focusing on the future, such as planning his new bedroom, rather than dwelling on his past losses.
